You can grab a thumbnail and drag it to the place you want it to be. The others will move around to make room for the one you're moving.


In an Album the pictures can be sorted automatically by date or title:



A better way to get the order you want might be to give each picture a title in the Info Window (command-I), add a number to the title, and then sorting them by title. That way you could try other arrangements and return to the title order. Dragging the pictures to order them is hard to reproduce if they get messed up.
